A bunch of new kits and such have been added to FW's site for pre-order:

Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter £70 each

Following the Saint-Saen Crusade’s liberation of twelve worlds in the Segmentum Obscurus, STC patterns were recovered for an air superiority fighter, smaller and more agile than the iconic Thunderbolt. The Lightning has since been disseminated to other worlds with strong ties to the Imperial Navy – notably Bakka and Hydraphur – and production has recently begun within the Segmentum Solar, resulting in the Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter.

The ‘Strike’ variant of the Lightning is equipped with a potent armament of six Hellstrike missiles as well as its twin-linked lascannon, fulfilling a dedicated ground attack role. Designed by Daren Parrwood, the Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter is a detailed multi-part resin kit, supplied with a twin-linked lascannon and six Hellstrike missiles. This model is fielded using the rules for the Lightning, which can be found in Imperial Armour Aeronautica.This model is available to pre-order now for despatch from the 4th of January.

Justaerin Terminators £35

The black-armoured Justaerin were the pride of the XVI Legion Astartes. Tasked with forming the ‘point of the spear’, their attacks were directed at the heart of an opposing target or a decapitation strike against an enemy force. The Justaerin and their commander, First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon, were early proponents of Tactical Dreadnought armour, and many entered combat in singularly-modified Cataphractii pattern Terminator plate.

Designed by Will Hayes, the Justaerin Terminators set contains five detailed multi-part resin bodies, each packed with Legion-specific iconography. These can be combined with our Cataphractii Power Fists, Power Axes and Special Weapons sets as well as the new Justaerin weapons, allowing for a huge variety of modelling options. Available to pre-order now for despatch from the 4th of January. Justaerin weapons shown in some images sold separately

Justaerin Weapons Set £12

Designed by Will Hayes. The set contains a multi-melta, four Phobos-pattern combi-bolters and five Cthonian-pattern power axes. Justaerin Terminators shown in some images sold separately. Available to pre-order now for despatch from the 4th of January.

Legion MKIV Power Weapon Set ££20

The warriors of the Legiones Astartes are the Imperium’s elite, and their officers are commonly equipped with the finest wargear imaginable. In the 41st Millennium, the Armouriums of the great Space Marine Chapters contain many war-relics, ancient weapons with histories as noble and storied as the battle-brothers that have borne them into combat. Designed by Will Hayes, the MkIV Power Weapon Set contains a huge variety of weapons and equipment.

The kit comprises ten melta-bombs, five pairs of arms, four Tigrus-pattern bolt pistols, three power fists, three lightning claws, two power axes, two power swords, two chainswords, two Charnabal Sabres, two combat blades, two hand-flamers, two plasma pistols, a thunder hammer, a heavy chainsword as well as two modified MkIV torsos. This cornucopia of wargear is perfect for use with our range of resin Space Marine Infantry, and is also fully compatible with Games Workshop’s plastic kits.Space Marines and accessories shown in some images sold separately. Available to pre-order now for despatch from the 4th of January.

I was thinking of perhaps waiting till the new Dark Angels get released, but after seeing the new MkIV Power Weapon set im really thinking of going back to my idea for a space marine chapter that only uses MkIV stuff.

One thing i dont get, what are the 5 pairs of arms for?

I preferred the old lightning, wish they'd leave both on sale at once so you had the choice if you wanted one...

I think they're used for the weapons you get with the set. Defo going to get a pack for my Iron Warriors.

Ignore my earlier comment just remembered that Dark Angels have a successor chapter which only uses old tech :)

So far as looks go I found the original lightning better looking in every way with its subtle details. The flanges on the rocket engine were insanely crisp and I'd never seen an aircraft nosecone (fictional or real) like on the older Lightning - never. It was a nice, slick almost art deco addition to the cluncky armoury of the Imperium, and it fit because it had an ancient stc. The new Voss pattern looks like they welded the wings of the Avanger to the body of a Thunderbolt. There aren't even any size comparisons with other fighters. I though the Lightning was meant to be small and nippy. My knowledge of the 40K rules are a tad rusty so I don't know how this new release will improve the game. I'm only anoyed about the change in cosmetics but I'm really anoyed that now I'll have to buy the older model (if ever) on Ebay (I hate Ebay) at an inflated price!:mad:
